Couple of recent cooks from a relative newbie

Options
Almost a year into my BGE purchase and I couldn't be happier.  I'm not a good cook by any stretch, but this thing makes it damn near fool proof.  A couple of recent cooks:

Baby back ribs (I'm getting better each time).  Was also making a pot roast, which turned out so-so:

Pizza.  Still struggle with the transition to the pizza stone:

Beef tenderloin.  Expensive, so I was a little scared about this one.  Only thing I'd do differently next time is ease up on the hickory.  It came out a little over-smoked:

Being the only omnivore in a house full of vegetarians means I freeze a lot of individual portions of my cooks for mid-week meals.  I heated up some of my left over, frozen tenderloin in the microwave for just a minute, then added to a skillet where I was sauteing some onions in butter/worcestshire sauce.  Made the best sandwich I've ever had:

Being the only one eating this, I sometimes run out of ideas on what to do with the frozen leftovers.  Tonight my wife was making Chinese steamed buns, and I know they're often served with pork in the middle.  I had one portion of frozen pulled pork left over from a cook a couple of weeks ago.  Thawed it, chopped it to a little finer consistency and added a little soy sauce before putting inside some of the buns.  Delicious!:

I like my Looftlighter a lot, but WTF!  This happened about two weeks ago as I was lighting the charcoal for some burgers.
